Single mother was subject of scrutiny because her online banking system gave different payment dates to those expected by the DWP .

She was repeatedly asked for bank statements from certain dates, and she tried to give these, but she had made no transactions on some of these dates so they did not appear in her account.

Berman is clear she has “nothing to hide” and says she has never committed fraud.
